Synopsis

of which may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
=========
Mozilla Firefox is a popular open-source web browser from the Mozilla
Project.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox.
Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web
page, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle
attacks, obtain sensitive information, spoof the address bar, conduct
clickjacking attacks, bypass security restrictions and protection
mechanisms, or have other unspecified impact.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/firefox-60.2.2"

All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/firefox-bin-60.2.2"
